Solar Eclipse - 1994 Indiana Univ. Kirkwood Observatory
1994 Solar Eclipse; Forest canopy projects solar images from "pinhole" cameras made by dozens of interlaced leaves above.


A project involving follow-up observations of NEO-PHAs (Near Earth Object-Potentially Hazardous Asteroids) to help us avoid the fate of the dinosaurs.

Where's the Asteroid?

NEO-PHA
(MPL2007TU24_080129)

NEO-PHA
(MPL2006NM060919)

NEO-PHA
(MPL2007PU11Y071106), this one is faint!

NEO-PHA
(MPL23183_060125), wait for the frost on the CCD window to evaporate!


FS Auriga Field



Star field with cataclysmic variable star FS Auriga and our newly discovered eclipsing binary (2007 AJ, 133, 1944).  Try and find the cataclysmic variable, its accretion disk puts out lots of UV light making it appear as an extremely blue star right of center.
